Description
The new Skyline School project is built into a hillside, approximately two miles from the Pacific Ocean. The $39 million reconstruction of the elementary school facility, which was over 60 years old, now includes new classroom and administrative buildings, with 33 classrooms (the previous campus had 31), a media center, technology lab, multi-purpose building, STREAM building, and a four-classroom kindergarten building. The project also included an amphitheater, garden and lunch shelter. Both the lunch shelter and parking lot are covered by solar canopies. The new 75,300-square-foot (6,850 m2) school, located on a 10-acre campus, will serve about 550-570 students.
Products Used
The concrete supplier, added PENETRON ADMIX in soluble bags during batching, for easy dosage, to all concrete used for the retaining walls built to protect the below-grade structures of the school campus, and the basement footings and walls of the school buildings. Over 3,100 cubic yards (2,400 m3) of concrete were treated. In addition, PENEBAR SW waterstop was added to the new concrete elements to permanently seal all construction joints. The project’s concrete sub-contractor, also opted for PENETRON ADMIX to replace the previously used bituminous membranes that were installed on the below-grade walls. PENEBAR SW waterstop and PENECRETE MORTAR were also used to patch the snap tie holes and taper tie holes.
